Dave Warner has been left out of the NSWales squad to challenge Queensland in Thursday’s 4 day match. I can’t find the actual squad posted anywhere, but I heard it on the radio so it must be true.

I can understand this decision, as a must outright win game for the Blues it’s hardly the time to be blooding new openers… but if the story is true then they could have at least picked him in their second XI squad!

At least Warner’s useful in the field and will make a top notch 12th man, he’s got International experience after all.

Best of all, the papers can re-run their stories about his not even having a 1st class cap. Can’t wait.
